Former NFL running back Myles Gaskin has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 29, ending a seven-season career in the league. The announcement, made via social media on Thursday, marks the end of a journeyman path that began as a long-shot draft selection and culminated in a Super Bowl victory.

Gaskin was originally selected by the Miami Dolphins as a seventh-round pick before going on to play across seven NFL seasons as a running back, including a stint with the Seattle Seahawks that yielded a Super Bowl win. In his retirement statement, he wrote an emotional tribute to the sport, saying "there will never be enough words to explain how I feel about you."
